Darwiniana, nueva serie 1(1): 67-75. Although plantations have an artificial origin, they modify environmental conditions that can alter native fungi diversity. The effects of forest management practices on a plantation of willow (Salix) and poplar (Populus) over Agaricomycetes basidiomes biodiversity were studied for one year in an island located in Paraná Delta, Argentina. Dry weight and number of basidiomes were measured. We found 28 species belonging to Agaricomycetes: 26 species of Agaricales, one species of Polyporales and one species of Russulales.

These fungal isolates were analyzed based on their morphological characteristics and the molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences. On the basis of their morphology and phylogeny, KNU17-1 and KNU17-199 isolates were identified as Albifimbria verrucaria and Deconica coprophila, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, A. verrucaria and D. coprophila have not yet been reported in Korea. Thus, this is the first report of these species in Korea.

In addition to being fine mycological books in their own right, they have a great provenance, coming from the libraries of several members of the Fries family – the leading botanist and mycologist family in Sweden. All of the books are from the library of Nils Fries (1912–94), many from that of his grandfather Theodor (Thore) M. Fries (1832–1913), and a few from the library of Nils’ great grandfather Elias M. Fries (1794–1878), “fa- ther of Swedish mycology”. All three were botanists and professors at Uppsala University, as were many other members of the family, often with an orientation towards mycology. Nils Fries field of study was the procreation of mushrooms. Furthermore, Nils Fries has had a partiality for interesting provenances in his purchases – and many international mycologists are found among the former owners of the books in the catalogue. Four of the books are inscribed to Elias M. Fries, and it is probable that more of them come from his collection. Thore M.

Pa Pae, A. Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai 50150, Thailand * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Psilocybe deconicoides, P. cubensis, P. magnispora, P. samuiensis, and P. thailandensis (previously known from Thailand) are revisited, andP. thaiaerugineomaculans, P. thaicordispora, P. thaiduplicatocystidiata, and P. thaizapoteca are described as new species. These new species are bluing and belong to sectionsCordisporae , Stuntzae, and Zapotecorum. Following the recent conservation of Psilocybe as the generic name for bluing species, P. deconicoides, which does not blue upon bruising, is transferred to Deconica, while the bluing taxa P. cubensis (sect. Cubensae), P. magnispora and P. thailandensis (sect. Neocaledonicae), and P. samuiensis (sect. Mexicanae) remain in Psilocybe. Key words — hallucinogenic mushrooms, richness mycobiota, Strophariaceae, tropics Introduction The hallucinogenic fungal species in Thailand, as in most tropical countries, are poorly known, which is in direct contrast with the large fungal diversity that occurs throughout the tropics. Moreover, with considerable destruction of tropical habitats for use as agricultural or cattle farms, many species will likely disappear before being documented.

  • Evolutionary Relationships Among Species of 'Magic' Mushrooms Shed Light on Fungi 6 August 2013
    Family matters: Evolutionary relationships among species of 'magic' mushrooms shed light on fungi 6 August 2013 "Magic" mushrooms are well known for their According to the authors, their analysis of various hallucinogenic properties. Until now, less has been morphological traits of the mushrooms suggests known about their evolutionary development and that these typically weren't acquired through a most how they should be classified in the fungal Tree of recent common ancestor and must have evolved Life. New research helps uncover the evolutionary independently or undergone several evolutionary past of a fascinating fungi that has wide losses, probably for ecological reasons. recreational use and is currently under Nevertheless, species of Psilocybe are united to investigation for a variety of medicinal applications. some degree because they have the psychedelic compound psilocybin and other secondary metabolites, or products of metabolism. The In the 19th century, the discovery of hallucinogenic authors say that former Psilocybe species that lack mushrooms prompted research into the these secondary metabolites could also be found in mushrooms' taxonomy, biochemistry, and historical Deconica. usage. Gastón Guzmán, a world authority on the genus Psilocybe, began studying its taxonomy in More information: The paper, titled "Phylogenetic the 1950s. In 1983, these studies culminated in a inference and trait evolution of the psychedelic monograph, which is currently being updated as a mushroom genus Psilocybe sensu lato team of researchers from the University of (Agaricales)," was published today in the journal Guadalajara and the University of Tennessee Botany. www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/a … collaborate with Guzmán to produce a hypothesis 0.1139/cjb-2013-0070 on how these mushrooms evolved.
